Hurtin' Songs
Someday, someone will bring back de Blues
Crying songs of yesterday
When we were young
When no better than de hurting songs were sung
Heartbreak caused us all to bruise
Someday, another Billie Holliday will rise up
A Bessie, Howlin’ Wolf, and Bobby Bland
Ella belting from de heart
Their deep-down message from de start
Blip, blub-a-do, wop, bip-bop a ‘bup.
